TEHRAN, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) — Three European countries — France, Germany and Britain, known as the E3 or "Euro-3" group, and the European Union on Thursday informed Iran of their intention to reimpose sanctions on Tehran.
According to a statement released by the Iranian Foreign Ministry, during a telephone conversation, Foreign Ministers David Lammy of the United Kingdom, Jean-Noël Barrot of France, Johann Wadephul of Germany and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas informed Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi of their plans to formally notify the UN Security Council about the launch of the sanctions snapback mechanism.
The snapback mechanism is part of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. It allows other parties to reimpose international sanctions if Iran fails to comply with the agreement.
According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, European representatives also expressed their readiness to find a diplomatic solution to the disagreements within the next 30 days and prevent the return of UN Security Council sanctions resolutions.
Iran's foreign minister described the European move as "unjustified, illegal and devoid of legal basis," recalling Iran's "responsibility and goodwill" in remaining committed to a diplomatic solution to nuclear issues.
A. Araghchi assured that Iran will respond to this decision in an “adequate” manner in order to protect its rights and national interests.
The Iranian diplomat stressed Iran's seriousness in defending its interests and legitimate rights under international law and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and expressed hope that the EU-3 would properly "correct this wrong step" in the coming days. –0–
